Organising Business

Overview

Students begin the first unit in this programme by organising their work from last year. They then revisit their skills in handling compressed folders and browser management by importing a set of pre-made bookmarks before deciding on a memorable company name and developing a logo for their App development business. More challenging graphic skills are developed this year using colour schemes, rubber stamp tools and lasso tools to produce a banner for their new business. Students then use the concepts of logical and physical diagrams to help them to design an eye-catching banner to prevent hacking by re-purposing digital artefacts. Finally, students produce a write up for assessment.
